ETH: MediaTek MT7531 Switch
UART: 3V3 115200 8N1 (Pinout silkscreened / Do not ocnnect VCC)
Use the compiled asus_rt-ax52-pro-initramfs.trx file from the this repo.
Connect the PC via LAN to one of the yellow router ports and wait until your PC to get a DHCP lease.
Browse to http://192.168.50.1 or http://www.asusrouter.com/
If your router is brand new, finish the setup process and log into the Web-UI.
Navigate to Administration → Firmware Upgrade or use this link http://www.asusrouter.com/Advanced_FirmwareUpgrade_Content.asp.
Upload the .trx file to router
Wait for it to reboot
